Books in the Environmental Science and Technology: A Wiley-Interscience Series of Textsand Monographs series

Phytormediation is an exciting new method for controlling and cleaning up hazardous wastes using green plants. This book is the first to compile the state of the science and engineering arts in this rapidly advancing field.

Bioremediation and Natural Attenuation: Process Fundamentals and Mathematical Models provides, under one cover, the current methodology needed by groundwater scientists and engineers in their efforts to evaluate contamination problems, to estimate risk to human health and ecosystems, and to design and formulate remediation strategies.

This book provides an accessible introduction to the underlying scientific and physical processes that determine how chemicals react with their environments, and shows how to develop models that can help predict their effects. Offers a broad and modern perspective to environmental modeling, covering ground water, atmosphere, soil and global change.

Contributed papers by experts in the field detail how to put integrated pest management to work. Presents the philosophy and practice, ecological and economic background as well as strategies and techniques including not only the use of chemical pesticides but also biological, genetic and cultural methods to manage the harm done by insect pests.

The first integrated text on applied ecology, ecologicalimpact assessment and environmental planning written by abiological ecologist with extensive experience in bothplanning and geography. Ecology critically reviews currentmethods of assessment and provides the conceptual andmethodological basis for advancing the field.

This book discusses the physical processes that occur in both natural and engineered environmental systems, covering underlying principles and interactions. Illustrates how an understanding of these physical processes can be useful for developing and designing water quality and other environmental systems.

Because your success begins with the right formula. Finding the right formula is an essential part of environmental engineering and research. However, consulting the literature of the many disciplines that affect your work can be a time-consuming, inefficient, and often difficult process.

A result of important bilateral scientific agreements between the U.S. and the Soviet Union on the fate of chemicals and pesticides in the environment. Written by experts in both countries, it familiarizes the reader with recent state-of-the-art research being conducted in the areas of agricultural management and water pollution control.

An accessible yet scientifically challenging account of the ecological and human health impacts of pollutants. Uses authentic examples of well-known environmental problems such as Chernobyl, Love Canal and asbestos contamination to illustrate the principles and practice of environmental toxicology.

Aquatic Chemistry An Introduction Emphasizing Chemical Equilibria in Natural Waters Second Edition Edited by Werner Stumm and James J. Morgan This second edition of the renowned classic unites concepts, applications, and techniques with the growing amounts of data in the field.

Thoroughly updated and expanded by over 50%, this new edition of acclaimed work focuses on understanding and quantifying the behavior of chemicals in air, water and soil. Helps engineers, scientists, and environmental professionals performing risk assessments, understand how natural processes operate to mobilize chemicals.

This comprehensive contributed volume presents an account of current research and applications of chemical processes occurring at the interfaces of water with naturally occurring solids.

Presents mathematical models for estimating and predicting sediment fluxes. These models provide sufficient detail and data to enable scientists in the field to reproduce the computations and use the models for understanding their own data. This title offers computations directly applicable to developing modern water quality models.

An overview of ecotoxicology. This book provides comprehensive single-source coverage of the entire field of ecotoxicology, from the ecological basics to the effects of chemicals on the environment and the latest test strategies.
